This week I’m proud to announce the launch of the new River Valley Arts Alliance website. The website is build on the WordPress content management system, letting the client update the website at their leisure.

The site features:

• an events calendar
• photo slideshow
• photo gallery
• member application forms
• donation forms
• an artist database
• a microsite for their annual Dooryard Arts Festival

The website is going to be a great resources for keeping up to date with RiVA and the arts community in and around the Saint John River Valley. Be sure to check back frequently as we near the festival dates for Dooryard as more events and festivities are announced.

I’m proud today to announce the launch of the new York Street Dental website, the new online home for Drs. Andrew Smyth and Jim Roxborough. The York Street Dental website features information about the practice’s team members, services and includes online appointment request forms as well as patient education software and videos.

In October I had the pleasure of meeting my wife’s cousin Craig, the Director of The Caribou Group, a Brisbane Australia based lighting company. He and I both share a fondness for Twitter which got us talking about the Twitter page for his company. The first thing that I noticed was that they were still using one of the backgrounds provided by Twitter. I decided that I would make it my mission to update their look, at least on the Twitter page. My “mission” being of course to send Craig a Direct Message on Twitter asking him if I could do it. A few weeks later he said yes and here we are.

Good friend and photographer, Nick Forret, approached me in early July about relaunching his website and I was more than happy to help him out. Nick’s old website, while nice looking, wasn’t set up to be easily edited by Nick who has little coding background. Our solution was to set up his new site using WordPress which let him easily update his website and even keep a blog. The new site is set up to automatically add Lightbox to his uploaded images, thus creating a bit of a fancy gallery for his users to view his work.

We’ve also set up a blog with comments enabled to promote discussion about various topics.

Nick is still in the process of adding content to the site but you can view the active site here:

Don’t forget, Nick is always available for work!

Unfiltered Smoke is the brain child of journalist, opinion writer, movie reviewer and good friend Jason Wilson. A while back Jason contacted me about working on this project and I jumped on the opportunity. He was looking for a site where he could showcase the works of the many talented people that he has known over the years. He was looking for a site that he could post articles, short stories, videos, photo series and music. The end result is a site that I’m really proud of.

The site features an integrated Lightbox gallery for displaying photo series and dynamic music players which are only activated when the user selects them.

Unfiltered Smoke has very quickly gone from a pet project into a largely popular website that is growing by leaps and bounds every day.
